Departing between 10:30 AM and 11:00 AM, you'll board a professional polar bus and journey toward the Arctic Circle along the Dalton Highway, one of Alaska's most remote and challenging roads. The 414-mile Dalton Highway, considered one of the "World's Ten Deadliest Highways," is accessible only to licensed vehicles. Along the way, you'll admire the pristine tundra landscape of the Arctic wilderness and have the opportunity to encounter wildlife such as caribou, Arctic foxes, wolves, bears, and musk oxen. Passing the Yukon River, North America's third-longest river, you'll also witness another great and challenging human endeavor: the North-South Oil Pipeline, which spans Alaska. Finally, you'll reach the Alaskan Arctic Circle (66°33'N) and receive an Arctic Circle Expedition Certificate, a memorable experience that will cap off your Arctic Circle adventure. With luck, you might even see the Northern Lights on the return journey. Arriving in Fairbanks between 2:00 AM and 3:00 AM the following morning.
